Nice!

Im glad to see someone else got rid of that upper body line, imo, it looks so much better w/o it.

I was with you until the safc part, the only thing the safc is good for is f*** up a perfectly good harness.

yea but i had it laying around, im gonna use snap in connectors i mean its good for a mild tune when i put her on 12psi

plus the main thing is it can give me an accurate rpm reading and fix the bogging from my non recirculated blow off

wat ya think?

This is the kind of stance I like! Close enough to flush but still packing lots of rubber! Can we get some wheel & tire specs? Rota SVN-R's maybe?

-godspeed intake manifold

how's the casting on that mani? i have some greddy knockoff mani (don't know which brand) and the casting is scary. i've cleaned it up some, but it still needs plenty of work.

i just sanded it down with 80, 320,600 then 1000 gt sandpaper to look for any holes in the casting, then painted it with high temp gloss black

the casting on the inside seemed good, the seams are smooth as well
